I don't have a problem with buying pictures online. In fact I've bought a number of them without seeing them in person first.

I know a number of you may find this strange - dodgy even. But why?

I realise art is an emotional and intensely personal thing but if you like the image, have an idea about the size and the buying experience is pleasant - why not? Sure, the colours may differ slightly between real life and the image on your computer screen but they are fairly close.

Anyway, above is a little crab painting I bought online from Canadian/Chinese artist Eugene Wang. He makes beautiful little still life paintings and sells them via his blog. I've placed the picture next to one of my own above the kitchen table where I work every day.

So I'm going back to 1984, getting my Buffalo girl stance on and painted a number of tshirts in the Sydney colours of Summer. That's a one off Gabby Malpas in bold and permanent colours on a cotton tshirt for $30. Wooohoooo.
